Journal Article
Balážová, A., Nosková, E., Široký, P., Durrant, C., & Baláž, V. (2021). Diversity and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens within a local community of small mammals. Biologia, 3267–3273. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11756-021-00797-8

Small mammals are important reservoirs of multiple pathogens transmittable to humans. Rodent populations are highly dynamic, passing through multiannual cycles with densities changing in several orders of magnitude. Such variable pools of hosts shap...
